Consider the training you will need for your potential Airbrush Tanning because you may need specialized industry business knowledge or talents, relevant education or technical experience such as learning how to use the spray gun.

Think about the purpose of starting an Airbrush Tanning Business and what you want out of this business experience other than just money. Ask yourself if your goals, values and interests fit in with the business.

Do research and call on other Airbrush Tanning business owner or Tanning Salons to find out how much they charge for spray tanning in your area. You can also find out by visiting many available websites since many airbrush tanners list their prices on the website.
